San Jose Earthquakes vs. New York Red Bulls

San Jose, Calif. (July 5, 2025) — The San Jose Earthquakes earned a point Saturday night at PayPal Park, playing to a 1–1 draw with the New York Red Bulls thanks to a second-half own goal that pulled them level.

New York struck first in the 18th minute, finishing off a low cross from close range after a quick attacking sequence. The early goal put San Jose on the back foot, but the Quakes stayed organized defensively and gradually found their rhythm as the first half wore on, looking to create chances on the counterattack.

The equalizer came in the 57th minute off the foot of Cristian Espinoza — or, more accurately, off a Red Bulls defender. Espinoza whipped a dangerous cross into the box, and under pressure, the defender redirected the ball into his own net. The moment energized the home side and shifted momentum toward San Jose.

From there, the Quakes pushed for a winner, creating a handful of promising opportunities late in the match. Despite the pressure, neither side could find a breakthrough before the final whistle.

The draw keeps San Jose unbeaten in its last two home matches and adds another point in the Western Conference race. The Earthquakes return to the field Tuesday, July 8, when they host Austin FC.
